The Last Vampire on Earth ?? | OC x Lestat | Interview with the Vampire

Lestat led me to a place we had never visited before. It was a place that made him waver- something he didn't do very often.

I squeezed his hand as it sat in mine before I went to walk forward, intending to enter the theatre.

"My love I..." Lestat started before the words got lost in his throat

Yet I understood him perfectly.

He needed a second.

I took steps back to stand next to him, our hands still entwined, and we both stood looking at the front of the theatre.

The building looked newer than the ones surrounding it and it was very clearly a theatre.

The building looked grand and had the words Théâtre des Vampires or Theatre of the vampire... the name fit the inhabitants maybe too well.

The last time I had seen any of the Paris coven was when Armand took Nicky- and even then I had seen Armand but he did not see me- and I felt out of place.

Lestat knew Armand personally but that didn't mean that he knew the vampire better than me. Armand was someone I had knowledge about through stories and gossip I had picked up throughout my time vampire hunting in Paris.

I knew him better than I knew Nicky yet we had never met...

...

Molloy chuckles from his seat across the table

My head snaps to him as I give him a confused look

He looks up from his laptop and sees me giving him a questioning look

"Oh sorry" he says but as he looks at my unchanging face he starts to explain himself  "I just find it funny that you include Nicky and Armand in the same sentence about how you knew one better then the other. Don't you find it ironic that they were both lovers of  Lestats and you knew them both?" Molloys asks

I shake my head as I sit back with a small laugh

"Molloy you forget how many lovers lestat held at one point, if I spent my life thinking about every one of them I would have no time for anything else" I said "but yes, I guess it is amusing- the idea that some of Lestats previous lovers were so entwined into my life and I didn't really care... see if you find that amusing you will find the next part of that day hilarious" I spoke

...

After Lestat had gathered himself for a moment we both entered the building. I understood why he needed a second- this theatre reminded him so much of his previous one... the one Nicky burnt down while going through his mental break while becoming a vampire.

The inside of the theatre looked exactly like the old one and it was clear the same coven ran it- I found myself turning my eyes to Lestat and awaiting his reaction.

He smiled, a small bittersweet type of smile. He looked melancholy and relaxed.

Suddenly the stage lights flooded on and it drew our attention.

It was quiet for a moment after the projector and lights had been turned on so abruptly, but then someone made themselves known.

Walking across the stage was a vampire, that much was clear from his smell alone, who had a flamboyant walk and oozed confidence.

As the lights dimmed on the stage, a single spotlight made its way to him and allowed us to see the man's face.

He had a piercing set of eyes and an angled face, but most noticeably he held a proud smirk... this vampire was cocky.
